A while ago, Luck (J. Stat. Phys. 72 (1993) 417) investigated the critical behaviour of one-dimensional Ising quantum chains with couplings constants modulated according to general non-periodic sequences. In this short note, we take a…
In this note we demonstrate that, as we conjectured earlier in [1], the a-charge in the conformal anomaly in dimension $d=2n$ manifests in a $n$-point correlation function of energy momentum tensor of a CFT considered in flat spacetime with…
Meta-conformal invariance is a novel class of dynamical symmetries, with dynamical exponent $z=1$, and distinct from the standard ortho-conformal invariance. The meta-conformal Ward identities can be directly read off from the Lie algebra…
Non-relativistic conformal field theory describes many-body physics at unitarity. The correlation functions of the system are fixed by the requirement of conformal invariance. In this article, we discuss the correlation functions of scalar…

In this paper, we study the implications of conformal invariance in momentum space for correlation functions in quantum mechanics. We find that three point functions of arbitrary operators can be written in terms of the $_2 F_1$…
We obtain explicit expressions for the long range correlations in the ABC model and in diffusive models conditioned to produce an atypical current of particles.In both cases, the two-point correlation functions allow to detect the…
This is a review of results obtained by the author concerning the relation between conformally invariant random loops and conformal field theory. This review also attempts to provide a physical context in which to interpret these results by…
We calculate the four point correlation function for scalar perturbations in the canonical model of slow-roll inflation. We work in the leading slow-roll approximation where the calculation can be done in de Sitter space. Our calculation…
We study the breakdown of conformal symmetry in a conformally invariant gravitational model. The symmetry breaking is introduced by defining a preferred conformal frame in terms of the large scale characteristics of the universe. In this…
A new realization of the conformal algebra is studied which mimics the behaviour of a statistical system on a discrete albeit infinite lattice. The two-point function is found from the requirement that it transforms covariantly under this…
Conformal invariance powerfully constrains the critical behavior of two-dimensional classical systems with short-range interactions and the critical theories in two-dimensions are parametrized by a dimensional number, termed central charge…
Every locally normal representation of a local chiral conformal quantum theory is covariant with respect to global conformal transformations, if this theory is diffeomorphism covariant in its vacuum representation. The unitary, strongly…
Measurements allow efficient preparation of interesting quantum many-body states with long-range entanglement, conditioned on additional transformations based on measurement outcomes. Here, we demonstrate that the so-called conformal…
Building on an analogy with conformal invariance, local scale transformations consistent with dynamical scaling are constructed. Two types of local scale invariance are found which act as dynamical space-time symmetries of certain non-local…
The conformal algebra provides powerful constraints, which guarantee that renormalized conformally covariant operators exist in the hypothetical conformal limit of the theory, where the $\beta$-function vanishes. Thus, in this limit also…
Conformal symmetry underlies the mathematical description of various two-dimensional integrable models (e.g. for their Lax representation, Poisson algebra, zero curvature representation,...) or of conformal models (for the anomalous Ward…
Universality classes of non-unitary critical theories in two-dimensions are characterized by a dimensional number, termed central charge or conformal anomaly. Conformal invariance predicts that the leading finite-size correction to the free…
Conformal prediction is a framework for uncertainty quantification that constructs prediction sets for previously unseen data, guaranteeing coverage of the true label with a specified probability. However, the efficiency of these prediction…
QCD in $d=4-2\epsilon$ space-time dimensions possesses a nontrivial critical point. Scale invariance usually implies conformal symmetry so that there are good reasons to expect that QCD at the critical point restricted to the gauge…
